2 Agenda n Introduction: 11:15 to 11:30 AM (Sridhar Gullapalli) –Outline and goals: –People on each team –POC – Lists n EA Plan: 11:30 to 11:45 AM (Sridhar Gullapalli) n EA Plan Discussion: 11:45 AM to 12:15 PM (Laura Pearlman) n Next Steps: 12:15 PM to 12:45 PM (Doru Marcusiu) –Site Responsibilities –SI Team Responsibilities

3 The EA Plan (11:30 AM to 11:45 AM) SG

4 Architecture Approach (System Architecture Document) n Develop common infrastructure that can used across all NEES applications –Balance generic mechanisms, extensibility for future growth, efficiency for application specific tasks n Validate against user requirements –Input from user requirements analysis, site visits n Extending proven grid technologies n Developing custom solutions for NEES specific requirements (e.g. Data, DAQ, Video services)

5 The Early Adopter Program (from the EA Document) n Spiral Model –Iterative deployment, testing and refinement –Timeline roughly 6 months (this phase) n EA sites –RPI, Reno, Oregon State n Shadow Sites and other users – NEES Equipment Sites –Researchers in Earthquake Engineering field

6 The Generic EA Experiment: The Preparation Phase

7 Generic Experiment in Progress (an instance or “test”)

8 Conclusion of a “test” or “run” Change/adjust parameters and repeat test or conclude experiment or revise experiment

9 Partial listing of components n Collaboration Tools n Local (on-site) Storage & Central Data Repository n DAQ n Prototype Data Models and Services n Streaming data services n Streaming video Services n Tele-operations (control will not be supported during the EA Phase) n NEESPOP and Services

10 Global Timelines n Communicating PlanApr 15 n Tracking NMI releaseMay 7 n Strawman data modelApr 15 n LabVIEW setup at ANL/ISIMay 15 n NEESPOP, Video Server and Local Storage Solution, LabVIEW DAQ (version 6.1) setup and installation at EAJun 1 n Prototype Telepresence server at EAJul 1 n Streaming data specification Aug 1 n Streaming data implementation (based on LabVIEW version 6.1)Aug 1 n Initiate Experiments phase 1Jul 15 n Conclude Experiment Phases Oct 15

11 EA Plan Discussion: 11:45 AM to 12:15 PM (LP) n Is the generic experimental model accurate? Representative? n Are site specific modes accurate? n Tune up details

12 Next Steps: 12:15 PM to 12:45 PM (DM) n Site Responsibilities (DM) –Status of Equipment and Software purchase NEESPOP Video Server (Linux box) + cameras + appliances Local Storage Solutions DAQ: Setup and LabVIEW 6.1 installation –Hardware Installation –Access to systems by SI team –Define Experimental Requirements –Define Experimental Procedures –Learn/Use Collaboration Tools
